Mapping will be beneficial –

We can look at –

- what we are teaching
- how are we teaching
- student-friendly questions
- scope and sequence – a smooth transition from MS to US
(change of facility should help decrease gap of learning curve from 8th to 9th grade)
(we can do more cooperative activities in 8th grade)
- common themes
- assessment

*BIG FOCAL POINT* - We teach ethical issues every single day – probably more than any other discipline
PE is typically more about ethical issues than “sports skills”

We cover:

- Respect
- Sportsmanship
- Cooperation
- Fitness
- Responsibility

SIP goals

Interdisciplinary
Research
Technology
Pedagogy of Inquiry
Greening

Discussion of each goal – what we are doing now and what we can do to improve

How is mapping going to help with interdisciplinary?

concerns: time constraints, flexibility

PE can continue to be very flexible to move units to coincide with other subject areas for interdisciplinary projects
